Elvira Hancock is a fictional character in the 1983 American crime drama film Scarface, portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer. This proved to be her breakthrough role. She is the mistress of Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) and after his death, becomes the wife of Tony Montana (Al Pacino).
EW has confirmed that Scarface costars Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer were planning to reunite on the Dolby Theater stage at the 96th Academy Awards, but ultimately Pfeiffer had a conflict that kept her on the East Coast (not for a "family emergency" as was previously reported).
He had helped Tony and Manny kill Emilio Rebenga. He was dismembered by a chainsaw wheeled by Colombian drug dealer Hector "The Toad" and was killed. He was portrayed by Pepe Serna.

Why did Tony get killed Scarface?
Tony accepts the deal, but when it is time to act, he hesitates because the activist is with his wife and kids, and Tony might be a ruthless gangster, but he isn't without principles. This act of mercy lands him on Sosa's kill list, and he sends an army of hit squads to finish Tony.
Mel tried to play cool and put all the blame to Frank, but Tony didn't fall for this and shot him in the gut. Desperate, Mel tried to negotiate for his life but Tony shot him in the chest killing him.
At the end of the film Gina herself suggests Tony must indeed want her because he can't stand for another man to be with her. Tony has a genuine look of confusion on his face and even asks what she's talking about. Therefore he likely did not have sexual feelings towards her.
At first Elvira wants nothing to do with Tony, seeing him as a nuisance. After Tony begins to amass more power within the drug world, he promises her that he will treat her better than Lopez. Realizing that she has developed feelings for him, Tony asks Elvira to marry him.
Both the film and novel are loosely based upon the life of gangster Al Capone, whose nickname was "Scarface". The names of characters and locations were changed only minimally. Capone became Camonte, Torrio became Lovo, and Moran became Doran.
Frank Lopez sent two hitmen to kill Tony after he made a deal to work with Alejandro Sosa behind his back, and after saying he could no longer give him orders.
Tony then sees Gina in a night gown at the top of the stairs. Enraged that another man has obviously slept with his sister, Tony shoots Manny dead. Hysterical, Gina reveals to Tony that they had just been married and were going to surprise him.
He yells, "Say hello to my little friend!" and opens fire on the henchmen, killing many of them, and is badly wounded by return fire. The carnage continues until Sosa's top assassin ("The Skull") sneaks behind Tony and fatally shoots him with a shotgun.
Coming from Cuba to Miami as a refugee, ex-convict Tony Montana used his greed, desire, and ambition to build an empire that is estimated at $900 million.
Filmed on location in Miami, the 7-minute sequel, by OID Productions, stars actor and music artist Jeancarlos Canela as Anthony Hancock-Montana, the previously unknown, only son of drug lord Tony Montana (played by Al Pacino) and his drug-addicted trophy wife Elvira (played by Michelle Pfeiffer).
How old was Al Pacino in Scarface? The character of Tony Montana was written to be in his early to mid 30s. Al Pacino, the actor, was 42-43 when the movie was filmed and it premiered.
Tony's incestuous protectiveness speeds his downfall. He murders Manny as a punishment. Gina is shot by Sosa's men. Montana loses the two most important people in his life, and his inability to control his lusts destroy them all.
The relationship between Tony Soprano and Dr. Jennifer Melfi in The Sopranos was of the most complex in the series, but why Tony never sleeps with Dr. Melfi has been debated even after the show concluded.
Melfi, Tony Soprano's Therapist. Though their relationship was short-lived, this Tony Soprano mistress was probably one of the most influential on the mafioso's psyche.
However, the drug-addicted Tony defiantly states that he will willingly go to a war against Sosa. In revenge for the sabotage, Sosa sent a huge hit-squad to sneak into Tony's mansion that very night. They murder Tony, as well as all his armed guards plus his sister in a bloody shootout.
Later on, Gina comes into Tony's office, and within seconds, starts shooting at him. They are both unaware of the hitman on Tony's office balcony who comes in shooting and kills Gina. Tony kills the assassin and comforts his already dead sister by saying he is sorry and that he loves her.
